Benelli factory modified choke
Curious if you patterned modified vs full choke with that load? Understand that it’s not reasonable at $20+ per shell. But did you pattern with a lead load?

That’s pretty impressive at 45 yards
Modern turkey loads are ridiculous.
Dropped, no flop, a Rio last week at 38 yards with 28g #9 TSS full choke.
I still get cautious on anything outside 45 yds. I passed on a 62 ish yarder last year. Really wanted to see if it could happen.

No.
Had some turkeys around yhe farm and set up a ground blind.
Really didnt expect a hang up at any distance, these birds aren't super pressured.
Had I thought much about it, I would have changed it out for something a little tighter.
Got it up on the wall last week.

Birds been hot starting on the 23rd. Was like a light switch.
All gobblers are down to one or two hens with them in morning rest are sitting.
Walked up on a hen with 5 poults on Sunday 4/26. They were prob 3-5 days old. Just south of Monticello, MS.
Birds in LA started gobbling same time.
Favorite time to hunt them is upon us.

I forgot to update on my son's western OK hunt.
He did not get his 3rd leg of the grand slam this past weekend but did get another Rio.
3 birds for him this year. Eastern and 2 rios. Not too shabby considering he's only been seriously hunting them for a couple of years and his dad is a terrible turkey hunter.
